SI: Raiders predicted to finish 5-11, last in AFC West

Not everyone is buying into the Raiders bouncing back in 2018. In fact, some believe they may be even worse this season.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Andy Benoit, he believes the Raiders are going to finish last in the AFC West with a record of 5-11. He is also projecting the Chargers to win the division at 10-6, with the Broncos coming in second at 8-8.

While it’s fair to be pessimistic about Jon Gruden after not coaching for a decade, the Raiders’ roster is significantly improved from last season. They have made major upgrades at wide receiver, offensive line, defensive line and at cornerback.

The Raiders may not be a playoff team in 2018, but don’t expect them to be worse than last season. They have too much talent to finish with a record of 5-11 in 2018.
